[PATCH] crypto: crc32: Optimize dynamic CRC table generation

In barebox we have an option for dynamic formation of the CRC32
table (DYNAMIC_CRC_TABLE), but the source code declares a static
array which is simply filled with data, the resulting code becomes
even more than without DYNAMIC_CRC_TABLE option, due to the BSS usage.
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_CRC_TABLE=n
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1884       0       0    1884     75c crc32.o
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_CRC_TABLE=y
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1066       4    1024    2094     82e crc32.o

This patch provides dynamic buffer allocation for the CRC table,
which saves about 1 Kbyte, as it should be.
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_CRC_TABLE=y
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1062       0       4    1066     42a crc32.o
